Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.
Chapter 100 The True Colors Are Revealed
For the next few days, Ye Chen and Tian Xiaohui stayed at the Tian family's house.
With Ye Chen's help, the relationship between the two parties quickly warmed up.
In the end, Tian Xiaohui completely forgot about the previous grievances and reconciled with her parents.
"We're going to report to the team today. The construction team has already been contacted, and we'll start work tomorrow."
"Our yard is big, so we just added a brick house."
In the morning, Tian Zhenguo happily said that, thanks to Ye Chen's introduction, the construction team had been contacted in the past two days.
However, any construction or groundbreaking work must be reported to the commune.
The communes have not yet been abolished, and some necessary procedures still need to be followed.
"Ye Chen, come with me. It'll be easier for two grown men to get things done."
Tian Zhenguo personally mustered his troops and led Ye Chen straight to the commune.
The commune cadres were reliable; they completed the relevant procedures in less than half an hour.
But just as Ye Chen and his companion were returning home, they encountered an uninvited guest.
"Old Tian, we're relatives, it's been so long since we last met."
"I heard your son-in-law has made a fortune? Well, my family has been having some difficulties lately, which is why I've come to see you today, hoping to borrow some money?"
A plump middle-aged woman sat in the courtyard with a burly young boy.
Upon seeing Tian Zhenguo, they immediately surrounded him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Tian Zhenguo, who was standing to the side, quickly explained, "This is your aunt, who is also my older sister."
"However, our two families don't usually have any contact. They are all rich people, not people like us who can reach them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood.
What rich people? They're unreachable. It's obvious they're just avoiding you when you need them.
Judging from their appearance, they are also relatives who benefit from each other. Although they are nominally siblings, they may not even be as close as neighbors.
With a relationship like that, how dare they ask to borrow money?
"You may leave; the Tian family does not welcome you!"
After Tian Zhenguo finished his introduction, he gave the order to leave with a livid face.
The obese woman's expression changed, but she quickly regained her smile and said softly, "My dear brother, there's no point in you saying that."
"Your nephew is getting married soon, and he finally found a wife he liked."
"We're just short of money to build the house. Your son-in-law is so capable, why don't you help him out if you can?"
"No matter what, we're family. You don't want to be talked about behind your back, do you?"
Rural areas are very traditional, especially the village aunties, who love to spread all sorts of rumors.
If that obese woman goes back and spreads rumors, Tian Zhenguo might be portrayed as a beast tomorrow.
"you……"
"Auntie, I'm the son-in-law you were talking about. Tell me what's wrong!"
Seeing Tian Zhenguo's expression change, Ye Chen quickly stepped forward.
From the very beginning, Ye Chen noticed something amiss. Why did the other party know so much about this matter?
To get to the bottom of things, Ye Chen took the initiative to ask, "Aunt, you've come all this way. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."
"By the way, Auntie, you said our brother found a wife, did he bring her along? Let us see what this fairy looks like!"
"You're a good talker, kid. Don't worry, now that we're married, I'll definitely introduce my wife to you."
Here she is!
The obese woman spoke, pointing towards the door.
The next second, a familiar face came into view—it was Qin Nan!
Ye Chen's expression changed drastically; he had indeed guessed correctly.
It turned out that Qin Nan had told her aunt's family about the Tian family's situation!
Qin Nan, unable to marry into the Tian family, sought revenge by going after her aunt's family.
The only purpose is probably to make this family a complete mess!
"Look, this is my daughter-in-law. She's so beautiful. Old Tian, you know my son is lucky."
The obese woman quickly stepped forward and praised Qin Nan.
Tian Zhenguo was furious. Pointing at Qin Nan, he explained the truth: "This woman was talking about marriage with my son just two days ago! You've been deceived!"
"She's no good, get her out of here!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" A tall, burly young man stepped forward and shielded Qin Nan behind him.
"Second Uncle, you're really getting senile. Your own son can't find a wife, and you're just spouting nonsense here, aren't you?"
"Qin Nan has been dating me for over a year, how could she have time to deal with your son?"
"Heh, playing both sides, impressive!"
Ye Chen realized that Qin Nan was clearly having an affair with both Tian Jianzhong and his aunt's son.
That fickle woman was thankfully driven away before.
Otherwise, if they actually went through with it, who knows who might cheat on whom!
"Qin Nan, you held a grudge after I exposed you before, and you want to get revenge using this method, right?"
"Let me tell you, I have the money, but you're not going to let me feed dogs!"
Ye Chen laid his cards on the table and stated his position.
The aunt's expression changed drastically, while her son beside her let out a cold laugh.
"Hmph, you call yourselves family? I think you don't respect us at all."
"Second Uncle, you already got the better deal when the family property was divided. Grandpa gave you the family's main land, and my mother only got some worthless, dilapidated land!"
"Now that we've laid everything bare, I, Tian Hao, will stop pretending. Today, you either pay me money or give up half of your homestead as compensation for what you owed my mother!"
"If you don't give it to me, I'll just take it myself!"
As Tian Hao spoke, he whistled.
The next second, a dozen tall and burly thugs suddenly ran into the courtyard.
As soon as these people appeared, they surrounded Ye Chen and Tian Zhenguo in the center!
Tian Hao's family was well-prepared before they arrived, clearly intending to start a fight at the slightest provocation!
"Tian Hao, what are you doing?"
Tian Zhenguo was furious, never expecting his nephew to dare threaten him like this.
Tian Hao sneered and directly threatened him.
"Old man, enough nonsense. I said, today you either pay up, or you give up half of your land!"
"I don't want much, just give me 2000 and I'll leave."
"Enough talk. I'm only giving you half a minute to consider. If you don't hand over the goods, I'll have my brothers take action!"
Same price, same time, same explanation.
At this moment, Tian Hao's threat was exactly the same as what Ye Chen had said when he forced Qin Nan to hand over the money.
In an instant, Ye Chen realized a truth!
Qin Nan was just bait; her supposed marriage to Tian Jianzhong was a complete lie from beginning to end.
It was all a charade staged by Qin Nan's aunt's family!
If I hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted their original plan...
Qin Nan may have already married into the Tian family and completely emptied their pockets!
"Hehe, what a clever trick, Auntie!"
"But do you really think these few people can handle me?"
Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart, his eyes sharpening.
At this point, we can only settle things with our fists!
